When I was in high school, I was in AP Physics class in 11th grade with a dude who eventually got into princeton(he was a senior at the same time). The guy was nothing special (not dumb but not by any stretch of the imagination impressive in any way). The most important fact I did not mention...

That is not a deep analysis of US presidential elections. If you can't energize your base, you are fucked. It is that simple. Nobody is going to be excited to vote for Romney save for his family. He has been the weakest frontrunner by far in recent memory. He almost lost the state he was born in...

Evangelicals will not vote for a Mormon over status quo. as the election draws near, they will get cold feet. Primaries where evangelicals were dominant Mitt got crushed, that is not an accident. It won't matter in a state like Mississippi but it can in a state like Ohio where you every last...

Single Payer wont fly in this country. If an average person in this country believes that the worst possible outcome is to be "a socialist european welfare state" what you have to work is limited. It is not about selling out but what you can realistically pass.

Romney is a political opportunist. He has no core beliefs and would gladly go from a gay rights parade to nra conference if he knew it would get him the presidency. Romney is not now, nor will ever be a conservative. Romney is in for only one person - Mitt Romney. You just repeated the spin...

Gingrich sometimes speaks the truth. I guarantee you, he is deeply disgusted by how his former coworkers threw him under the bus in favor of a rino. Someone who plotted republican takeover of congress for years vs someone who ran against ted kennedy, said he was not "reagan/bush" did not seek...

They voluntarily stepped down, for political reasons.

Compare that (I did not even get to see that segment on my local news (I live in Orlando Metro Area and this was one of the parts I did not see)) to prosecutor press conference which said absolutely nothing. Regardless of anything reasonable doubt alone will destroy this case.

The police took Zimmerman into custody and confiscated his gun, cordoned off the "crime scene" interviewed several witnesses, administered first aid to Zimmerman and then drove him away to be interrogated. The narrative of a sloppy investigation does not ring true. An investigation is not...

I would not put much stock into the time stamp. It could mean the initial prepare date and not count any amendments. They would not come to his father with pictures if they knew 100% who he was. Nor would they label him as john doe int he morgue. Reuters article I linked has a nice description...

They would not id him as male subject if they knew who he was. His name was added later. That is why they went to the father with pictures. At 3am they did NOT know it was treyvon martin.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/03/us-usa-florida-shooting-trayvon-idUSBRE8320UK20120403 this source says he was tagged as john doe because of lack of identification and next day his father was notified. There was a delay in releasing body to funeral director but that seems reasonable

What I wrote initially was why police and the first prosecutor were blowing the victim's family off. My explanation in the delay of identification is probable lack of id.

If Zimmerman wanted to murder the kid, you walk up and unload one shot to the head or the whole clip. The whole thing is inconsistent with murder. There is at least one witness who said on record that it was treyvon on top of Zimmerman and zimmerman pleading for help. That is the whole ball...

If he ONLY had skittles and ice tea in his pocket (and no ID) the police would have had trouble identifying who the hell he is. I don't see a giant conspiracy here. To them he would be John Doe # 1118

The truth may not be politically correct. What if the cops genuinely thought the killing was justified? How do you say that to the family? They don't wan to hear that. Fact of the matter is, a hispanic shooting a black guy in this country is not particularly rare. Happens all the time in LA. You...

You may not realize who you are talking to. I am not one of those people who listen to rush for guidance in life, although I do listen to rush to read between the lines and find out what the enemy is up to. I know real racism and imagined racism. Real racism is casually suggesting obama is a...

I was thoroughly disgusted by what happened today. I listened to her whole speech. It sounded like a campaign speech specifically tailored to the audience instead of something a career prosecutor should say. We learned exactly nothing as to why she charged him with 2nd degree murder just her...

You are hopeless. Factual evidence of being not worthy is not being nominated. at the time of his retirement he was not nominated. Case closed. Just look up the what McCain's father did, his grandfather did, or even Chuck Larson and compare. After reading all that, tell me if you would want...

He was a Ph.D Student at Harvard but was forced to leave the program. Obama got JD from Harvard Law.
